Best recovery

[japnap1]

What are some of the best things you guys use or do for recovery? When you are very sore DOMS what are some things you guys do to prevent it from lingering for days and maybe what do you take to prevent the onset from happening?

A hot epsom salt bath the evening of a really hard workout really helps. Give that a try

Deep tissue massage is also great

Massage or a nice hot bath

Sauna, stretch, massage, ice bath, compression and good sleep are a few good things to help with recovery!

a warm bath and all that is nice and makes you feel better, but it doesn't fix the problem at all.

your body is sore for 1 simple reason. it is under shock! it isn't conditioned for the pounding you put it through so it freaks out and sends out inflammation to fix what it views as a car accident you put it through

we hear a lot of guys say "oh you need protein, oh you need powders" blah blah blah. actually that will INHIBIT repair, not speed it up. because now your body has to work to digest that food and can't repair the damage you did to it

You need to learn to get quality sleep and rest. Take a day off the gym when you need it. Listening to your body is key. Food is not going to get rid of DOMS.
